Eric, that's very similar to the one I had in mind, I was looking at a cmt version that only cut one tongue, the wealdon one looks better, I'll check them out. I've done similar on a t/saw, and even on a track saw but was going to get a dedicated bit for the router table this time around. I'm...

The only real exposed edges would be the top of the drawers, the frame is going to be solid pine, and to be honest I've had nightmares in the past with painting mdf edges. I think I'm erring towards birch for the drawers now. I wasn't sure if it was a bit excessive for the job at first. Thanks...
